Produktbeschreibung

The importance of the community practice teacher is increasing withthe expansion in primary care. Universities around the country havedeveloped courses for practice educators to provide definitivetraining for that role - there are currently few texts that supportthese courses directly.
This book aims to redress this by covering eight specialistareas of community practice: district nursing, health visiting,school nursing, children s community health nursing, communitynursing mental health, community nursing learning disability,general practice nursing and occupational health nursing. Theemphasis is strongly on practical issues rather than theory andeach section considers practice-based dilemmas and offersappropriate debate.
